Solution

The correct option is A LH, FSH and a growth hormone
Anterior pituitary produces seven hormones which are namely growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), melanin-stimulating hormone (MSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), leutinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). Vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone; ADH) and oxytocin are produced by hypothalamus but stored and released into the bloodstream via posterior pituitary. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
